That was not the reason. The reason are the skins. I only own a few skins (and old cases) and they a worth over 500 €. There are a lot of players with an inventory worth thousands. So, what now, after you release a new iteration? Clone every player’s Inventar? Forcefully transfer every Skin from CSGO to CS2? Or delete the old iteration. Valve did the last, same with Dota Reborn a few years ago.

We should condemn Valve for protecting their stupid gambling mechanism…

That’s really unfortunate… Even, or better: especially, Ukraine was happy about him because of his incompetence.

There are significantly more people in the comments willing to pay than I thought… But the prices are also lower than expected.

I actually don’t know how to link a Mastodon properly.

I don’t really believe that 60% of the British want to get back into the EU, if they don’t get their old advantages back.

The mere fact that they would have to give up the pound and introduce the euro would deter many from rejoining.

But one can hope that this will change in the coming decades and that the UK will eventually become a member again.

What intro was that from? I can’t figure it out :-(

Sorry, obviously not from the US. Is a week per year every year without energy common in rural areas? In Germany that would be outrages. On the other hand, Germany is small compared to the US.

I think he meant your last part. You say there is a chance that LJ will collect and sell data, although you paid for premium. That’s a unnecessary accusation.

Electric stroves are common in Germany. Probably 95 % of the people have one. We don’t have nuclear power plants and we still have a stable grid ;-) just sayin’.

If you reinstall Sync for Lemmy, you can restore your previous purchase. Unfortunately it’s not for transferring your Sync for Reddit purchase, but I can understand this decision.

Lifetime was 33 €. Not sure, but I think one year was 11 €.

The ad-free version is already available für 21,99 €. Not going to lie, I expected the old reddit prices and was going to buy Ultra lifetime for 33 €…

No, it doesn’t. Unlike Reddit, Twitter, or Threads, Lemmy offers a variety of apps. There are so many that there is something for everyone. Even a “professional” app that finances itself with advertising or a subscription is allowed. The special thing about Lemmy is the freedom of choice.

Pathetic. Everyone had a crush on Ron and you know it!

Not true:

Meanwhile, Russia’s wheat shipments hit all-time highs following a large harvest. It exported 45.5 million metric tons in the 2022-2023 trade year, with another record of 47.5 million metric tons expected in 2023-2024, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates.

Also most wheat goes to China. 2/3 goes to developing countries.

Yeah… That’s why you can’t never trust an autocratic regime.

So more reposts, generic jokes as top comment and click baites, because now everybody will try to make a quick buck?

I am not sure about that. If you take the Ukrainian figure of +200k dead, that would mean 0.14% of the Russian population died in that war. In Germany, 0.11% of the population died from covid, but fortunately I didn’t know anyone from that.

Edit: some russian troll is downvoting all comments here

What do you mean?
